Everyone's Class: One Effort, 10,000x Bonus Reward! - Chapter 415: Taking Control of the Red Dwarves Clan
[Ding! You have successfully taken control of the Red Dwarves Clan. Your territory in the Abyss has expanded, and you have received a blessing of fortune!]
Aiden walked through the dark passage of the Abyss and casually opened his status panel.
Inside his bag, Mythic Rank materials such as Starmetal and the Abyss Lava Heart were shining with brilliant light.
These were the terrifying resources he had gained by using the 10,000x critical hit system to turn the Red Dwarves’ offerings into something far greater.
“The Great Destruction is speeding up…”
Aiden narrowed his eyes as he remembered Darius’s warning before he left.
If Aiden wanted to survive the coming final disaster, and even protect Earth, he had to become stronger.
His gaze fell on the torn treasure map fragments deep inside his bag.
“The Supreme Miko Treasure.”
Aiden muttered to himself.
Rainn and Cheryl were now developing the City of Miko. That place not only held the foundation of the Miko race, but also key clues he needed to become a god.
It was time to visit the City of Miko.
Aiden moved his foot slightly, and a strange black light surged over his Nocturnal Boots.
“Extreme Speed!”
Boom!
His figure instantly turned into a blurry black bolt of lightning. Wrapped in violent wind pressure, he tore open a vacuum path through the mist of the Abyss.
About a few dozen miles away from the volcano, the temperature around him suddenly dropped.
The red rocks were slowly covered by a strange layer of gray frost, and the air was filled with a sickening smell of decay.
Aiden suddenly stopped and landed steadily in front of a withered black forest.
Ahead of him, black mist rolled wildly and formed a ghostly figure that looked both real and unreal.
The figure wore a torn cloak, and two pale green soul flames flickered inside its eye sockets.
“Lord Aiden, please wait.”
Its voice was sharp and harsh, like nails scraping across metal, carrying a bone-deep chill.
Aiden stood with his hands behind his back and looked coldly at the one blocking his path. A faint golden flame appeared and disappeared at his fingertip.
“Anyone who blocks my way dies.”
Aiden’s voice was calm, but it carried unquestionable dominance.
The shadowy figure trembled and took a step back without thinking. It was clearly very afraid of that golden flame.
It quickly lowered its head and said in a hoarse voice, “You misunderstand, my lord. I am a messenger of Lord WraithJack. I have come to bring you a great gift.”
…
The cold wind howled past, but within ten steps of Aiden, the gray frost instantly vanished into nothing.
The wisp of Divine Golden Sunflame on his fingertip flickered gently. The terrifying heat it gave off was so intense that even the space around it seemed to twist.
The Wraith messenger shook all over. The pale green soul flames in its eyes flickered wildly, clearly under great pressure from this power of pure destruction.
“A great gift?”
Aiden looked down at it from above. His voice was calm and flat, but it carried a dominance that allowed no doubt.
“My time is valuable. If your message is not important enough, the price will be your soul.”
The Wraith messenger bent its ghostly body even lower, almost pressing itself against the ground.
“Honored Lord Aiden, my master, WraithJack the Omniscient, sincerely invites you to the neutral Black City for a meeting.”
“The neutral Black City?”
Aiden narrowed his eyes as information about the place appeared in his mind.
It was the only gray zone in the lower Abyss that was not controlled by the myriad races’ ranking system. It was also the only road he had to take to reach the City of Miko.
“Yes. And the welcome gift my master prepared for you is exactly what you want most on this trip—the Supreme Miko Treasure.”
The moment Aiden heard the words “Supreme Miko Treasure,” the golden flame at his fingertip suddenly surged.
Boom!
A violent wave of heat turned into visible golden ripples and swept outward. Within a hundred meters, all the withered black trees were instantly burned into charcoal.
This was only a casual strike from a level 80 Legendary Rank class, Magic Apprentice, powered by the passive skill Magic Mastery. Yet its force was already close to a god-level forbidden spell.
The Wraith messenger was so frightened that it almost broke apart on the spot. It screamed and quickly threw out the most important information.
“A shocking civil war has broken out within the Miko race! Two old Primordial Miko are fighting for the rightful throne, and their battle is tearing the world apart!”
“The City of Miko is now weakly defended. The barrier around the Supreme Miko Temple, sealed for countless ages, has already started to loosen!”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for you to break in by force and take the treasure!”
Aiden listened to the messenger’s report, and a thoughtful look flashed through his eyes.
A civil war between two Primordial Miko had caused the temple’s defenses to weaken. That would indeed make his exploration much easier.
Also, according to the dark-gold scroll he had decoded earlier, there was a shocking plan left behind by Yves and the other ancestors behind the merging of the Abyss and Earth.
And WraithJack the Omniscient, an ancient being who had lived for countless ages, clearly knew more about the truth of the ancient Great Destruction.
“The neutral Black City… It is on the way, after all.”
Aiden withdrew the golden flame at his fingertip. The violent pressure faded like a tide, and the area returned to dead silence.
With the absolute confidence given by the 10,000x critical hit system, he believed he could break through anything, whether it was a deadly trap or a hidden scheme.
“Tell Jack I will arrive on time.”
Hearing Aiden’s answer, the Wraith messenger let out a sigh of relief. Its shaky ghostly body finally became stable again.
“My master will be waiting for you in the Black City.”
The messenger bowed slightly, and its body began to turn into a wisp of smoke, ready to disappear into the void.
But just before it completely vanished, the pale green soul flames in its eyes flickered, as if it had suddenly remembered something.
“Ah, my lord, my master also has one more message. He told me I must deliver it to you.”
Aiden stopped and turned his head slightly. His cold gaze stabbed into the smoke like a sharp blade.
“Speak.”
From the void came the messenger’s lowered voice, full of mystery and respect.
“The Supreme Miko and Lord Jack are old acquaintances. Her Wraithshard has been waiting for a special person.”
…
Gray mist filled the air, and white bones paved the road.
This was the neutral Black City, the meat grinder of order in the lower Abyss, and a paradise for exiles from the myriad races’ ranking system.
The air was filled with the sharp smell of cheap ale, sulfur, and fresh blood.
On the hundred-meter-tall walls made of black iron, the heads of powerful beings from many races were hanging. Their dried skin and flesh rustled in the cold wind.
Aiden stepped on the dark red soil and walked through the city gate with an indifferent expression.
He did not hide his aura. The terrifying magic power of his level 80 Legendary Rank class, Magic Apprentice, gathered around him as a faint golden glow.
“Hey, a human? Soft skin and tender meat. Looks like he could sell for a good price.”
Several Abyss trolls, each three meters tall and covered in black hair, blocked his path. Drool dripped from their fangs.
Aiden did not even look up.
Buzz!
He moved his finger slightly, and the fire elements in the air instantly went wild.
“Get lost.”
Aiden spoke only one word.
Boom!
A golden ring of fire formed from Divine Golden Sunflame exploded outward with him at the center.
There were no screams and no struggle.
The Abyss trolls, who had the strength of Silver Rank fighters, were vaporized the moment they touched the golden flames. Not even a speck of ash was left behind.
“Hiss—!”
The outlaws from different races around them, who had been watching with evil intentions, all sucked in a cold breath and quickly backed away.
One strike. Instant kill.
Was this really a Legendary Rank Magic Apprentice? He was clearly a Demon God wearing human skin.
“As expected of Lord Aiden. You have only just entered the Black City, and you have already given me such a big gift.”
A hoarse yet deeply charming voice came from the shadows above the city gate.
Aiden looked up.
A tall figure slowly jumped down, landing as lightly as if she had no weight at all.
She wore a set of dark purple tight leather armor that outlined her stunning curves.
What drew the most attention were the pair of black Demon wings on her back and the faintly glowing Miko markings on her forehead.
A half-blood of Demon and Miko.
The city lord of the Black City, Catherine.
“Catherine?” Aiden said coldly.
“That is me.”
Catherine bowed slightly, but in the next instant, her aura burst out.
Boom!
It was the terrifying pressure of a level 90 Venerable. Half of it was the savage violence of a Demon, and the other half was the strange mystery of a Miko.
Two completely opposite powers had perfectly fused inside her body. There was even a faint trace of law power within it.
The ruler of the Black City truly lived up to her name.
But in the face of this pressure, enough to force any normal Reclasser to their knees, Aiden did not even raise an eyelid.
He only looked at her coldly. Behind him, in the void, nine huge magic halos slowly turned.
Magic Mastery and the 10,000x critical hit system were ready at any moment.
If Catherine made even the slightest move, what waited for her would be a forbidden spell strong enough to destroy heaven and earth.
Catherine’s breath caught.
In Aiden’s deep black eyes, she felt the threat of death.
“Hehe, it was only a joke. No need to take it so seriously.”
Catherine instantly pulled back her pressure, clapped her hands, and gave a self-mocking smile.
“I have no wish to follow Ethan’s path.”
Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, a huge sand table showed the power layout of the lower Abyss.
Catherine poured two glasses of blood-red wine and handed one to Aiden, but he coldly refused it.
She did not mind. She took a sip from her own glass, and her expression became serious.
“The Abyss today is like a volcano ready to explode at any time.”
Catherine pointed at the largest crimson area on the sand table.
“You killed Demon Duke Ethan, and that completely enraged the Demon army of the lower Abyss.”
“The main Demon forces are gathering like mad. There is even a higher Demon God secretly pushing things forward. They want to cross the Golden Great Wall and destroy Earth completely.”
Aiden sneered.
“No matter how many come, I will kill them all.”
